Cellphones And Lightning: A Deadly Combination
"You hear the one about the fifteen tourists visiting the Great Wall of China who were struck by lightning when one of them was chatting on their cellphone during a thunderstorm? No? Well, the Chinese government has, and in response has issued an official warning that people turn off their cellphones during lightning storms. Pseudo-science? You betcha."
This has to be one of the craziest things I've read in a while. I would have expected the Chinese government to be a little more rational in their decision. :roll:
